Split head to head
Same division record 4-2
Same NFC record
What's 4th tie breaker?

I think it is strength of schedule of victories or maybe record against similar opponents but not sure.

Saints & ATL both currently have 3 NFC losses. If Saints win out, ATL can lose any one game (afc opponents included), and then if they lose to Saints, ATL has 4 NFC losses vs the Saints' 3. Saints win tiebreaker.

I realy am hoping that the playoff machine is broken.

The logic mentioned seems correct. Win tomorrow Falcons lose tomorrow and we are in if we win out.

Good shot at the tomorrow part happening

Has anyone been able to confirm that there is a bug in the playoff machine? Seems unlikely that ESPN would make a mistake like that but everything seems correct that was stated
